Emotions: Rationality, morality and social understanding
An interdisciplinary conference at the University of Tartu
7-9 September 2017
Tartu, Estonia
Emotions are complex mental states that have important behavioural, experiential, cognitive and social aspects. This interdisciplinary conference focuses upon the nature of emotions, the relationship of emotions to morality and to social understanding.
The first set of questions concerns the nature of emotions. What are emotions and what kind of structure do they have? In what sense can we speak of the rationality of emotions?
The second set of questions concerns the moral and political role of emotions. What role do emotions play in moral motivation, moral judgment and moral development? Should we seek to cultivate or otherwise regulate our emotions? What is the role of emotions in moral disagreements? What kind of emotions should or should not have an important place in a civil society?
The third topic of the conference is the social nature of emotions. How are emotions related to empathy, sympathy, compassion and solidarity, and what role do they play in social interaction? Does recognizing the emotions of others presume that we must have had a similar emotional experience ourselves? What does it mean to share an emotion?
The fourth theme of the conference concerns the expression of emotions. How is the experience of an emotion related to its expression? What can we learn about emotions from literature and arts? How are emotions expressed in social media?

Suuline ja kirjalik kultuuris: põimumised ja põrkumised
aastakonverents
12.-13. detsember 2016
Eesti Kirjandusmuuseum
12. ja 13. detsembril 2016. aastal toimub Tartus Eesti Kirjandusmuuseumis Eesti-uuringute Tippkeskuse aastakonverents ja Kreutzwaldi päevade 60. konverents “Suuline ja kirjalik kultuuris: põimumised ja põrkumised”.
Konverents võtab luubi alla suulise ja kirjaliku teabe vahekorra (Eesti või laiemalt Baltimaade) kultuuris nii ajaloolises plaanis kui ka tänapäeval, kirjakultuuri näiliselt totaalse valitsemise ajal, ning ärgitab dialoogi eri distsipliinide vaatepunktide vahel. Kahel päeval on kavas ühtekokku 29 ettekannet, mis käsitlevad keele, kõne ja teksti suulist ja kirjalikku vahendamist, teemaga seotud filosoofilisi ja eetilisi küsimusi, samuti kirjaliku, pildilise ja akustilise vahekorda kultuuris.

Workshop on Value Judgment
Workshop
University of Tartu
29 November 2016
Jakobi 2-336
On the 29th of November there will be a small workshop on value judgment, partly connected with Francesco Orsi’s research grant on “The Unity of Normative Discourse (2013-16)”. Everyone is welcome to attend, including and especially students at any level.
10:30 Wlodek Rabinowicz (Lund University)
“Aggregation of Value Judgments Differs from Aggregation of Preferences”
This talk will focus on the contrast between aggregation of individual preference rankings to a collective preference ranking and aggregation of individual value judgments to a collective value judgment. The targeted case is one in which value judgments also have the form of rankings. Despite of this formal similarity, the kind of aggregation procedure that works fine for judgments – minimization of distance from individual inputs – turns out to be inappropriate for preferences. Whatever measure of distance is chosen, distance-based procedures violate the strong Pareto condition. Which seems alright as value judgment aggregation goes, but would not be acceptable for preference aggregation, on the most natural interpretation of the latter task. Distance-based aggregation of value judgments might also be approached from the epistemic perspective: questions might be raised about its advantages as a truth-tracker. From this perspective, what matters is not only the probability of the output being true, but also the expected verisimilitude of the output, i.e. its expected distance from truth.
12:00 lunch break
13:00 Toni Rønnow-Rasmussen (Lund University)
“On Conditionalism–On the Verge of a New Metaethical Theory”
This presentation explores a novel metaethical theory according to which value judgements express a certain kind of cognitive conditional attitude, viz., a belief that something is the case on condition that something else is the case. The aim is to reach a better understanding of this view. To this end, this work highlights some challenges that lie ahead. Certainly the most pressing one is to reach an understanding of the nature of these cognitive attitudes. It is suggested that the distinction between “dormant attitude” and “occurrent attitude” help us better understand these conditional beliefs.
14:30 end

Workshop is organised by the Department of Philosophy, University of Tartu and supported by the Centre of Excellence in Estonian Studies (European Union, European Regional Development Fund), research project IUT20-5 (Estonian Ministry of Education and Research) and by the Estonian Research Council grant PUT243.
Dialoogid subkultuuridega
Keeleteaduste, filosoofia ja semiootika doktorikooli sügiskool
17.-18. november 2016
Eesti Kirjandusmuuseum
Sügiskooli ettekanded ja arutelud seostuvad subkultuuridega kõige laiemas mõttes: alternatiivsed usundid, filosoofiad ja elamisviisid, erinevad ühiskonnarühmad (näiteks pagulased, vähemused, puuetega inimesed, uususundiliste praktikatega tegelevad rühmad) ja nende kultuurilised, usundilised, lingvistilised ja semiootilised väljendused jne. Lisaks plenaarettekannetele on plaanis väiksemas ringis praktilist laadi töötoad. Vaadeldakse selliseid teemasid nagu väljakutsed ja võimalused uuritava rühmaga kontakti loomisel, andmete kogumisel ja töötlemisel, uurimise interdistsiplinaarne mõõde, näiteks koostööartiklite kirjutamise võimalikkus, kogemused teadustööde avaldamisega rahvusvahelistes tippajakirjades.
Täpsema info ja programmi saadame septembri alguses. Osaleda on võimalik ka doktorantidel, kes ei ole Keeleteaduste, filosoofia ja semiootika doktorikooli liikmed.

Kogumiku “Tagasi mõtledes. Töid filosoofia ajaloost Eestis” esitlus
29. august
Jakobi 2-336.
Kogumik koondab uurimusi, artikleid, ettekandeid ja mälestusigi, mille aineks on Eesti filosoofia algupära ja allikad, selle mitmekülgne tekke-, kujunemis- ja arengulugu tänapäevani välja, lühidalt – Eesti ja eestikeelse filosoofia ajalugu kõige laiemas mõttes. Kuid kogumikku valitud tööd kätkevad seejuures mõistetavalt ka mis tahes filosoofiliste või filosoofia-ajalooliste probleemide käsitlusi – nendeta poleks ei eesti ega mis tahes rahvuslik filosoofia võimalik.
